LOL.
I read that Warren Buffet who when his "never-sell" investment in US banks was hitting the skids, threatened to sell his shares and got a sweet heart deal that we couldn't get. He advised us that he was unable to pay what his secretary paid in taxes. A sad sad case indeed. He could have written a cheque for the difference in 5 minutes. He didn't but is happy for more taxes for everyone else. I think he intends to write that cheque after death.
How about washington elites that get the ability to front run while lobbists line up to take the people's money away? I am sure the ethics of the lobbists forbid them from handing out stock tips.
I read about the clinton's who were poor leaving the white house - poor clinton's! (Is the basic purpose of political service to get rich?) They have a daughter who has tried to care about money and can't. (Reminds me of the people are revolting - let them eat cake.) Luckily they got rich again.
I read about a California fellow (name escapes me) who after making lots of money on oil, now preaches that oil is the sin of the universe - ban the keystone pipeline. He is a big democrat and great humanitarian now. The conversion seems much like the biblical one that happened to Saul on the road to Damascus - save yourself, don't do what I have done!
How about Christie who helps with traffic flow on the washington bridge. Or Mr. Blagojevich who was "stunned, simply stunned" at his corruption charges.
In Canada we have a senator who has been charged with 31 counts of corruption and can hardly wait for his day in court to prove his innocence. So can we. We have a mayor who admitted to smoking crack cocaine, in a province that has the worse debt of any population in the world, balancing their budget with more debt. (Don't know where they got that idea.)
Stockman says that there is a warfare party and a welfare party. I say there is only one party and you and I are not invited to it!
But the biggest irony of all is: The media attacks the out-of-control millionaires of Russia in their political process. Et tu Brutus!
